In 2014, FRA will take over the chair of the network of EU agencies from the European Railway Agency (ERA).

As part of this network, there is an annual meeting of the Heads of Communication & Information Network. The network aims to exchange knowledge in the area of communication and stakeholder cooperation among the various EU agencies and to increase the reputation and visibility of EU agencies.

This year’s meeting, to be held in Vienna on 29-31 January, was jointly organised by FRA and ERA. It will be an opportunity to discuss and share experiences of various communication and stakeholder relationship issues, such as the use of social media and audio-visual communications, as well as relations with civil society, media and EU and national stakeholders.
